>The founder of notorious Chinese cracking forum 3DM is warning that given the current state of anti-piracy technology, in two years there might be no more pirate games to play. The claims come after attempts to breach the Denuvo security protecting Just Cause 3 pushed the group's cracking expert to breaking point.
RIP in peaces piratefags
>>323004269
Bull, nothing is unpiratable which is itself widely usable.
At most, they make it take longer for pirates to succeed.
>>323004269
First of all, 3DM were never good to begin with.
Secondly, they're P2P group, not scene group.
P2P groups are very low tier in terms of hierarchy of the pirate underworld.
Add to this the fact that 3DM was never very well skilled and you get this defeatist bullshit.
Actual scene (groups like Razor, CPY etc) is most definitely working on defeating Denuvo and not through a shitty loophole that still leaves it working (like the 3DM "cracks" have been doing) but actually cracking it aka removing it from the executable entirely.
It took a long time to crack StarForce and SecuROM but in the end when scene finally cracked them, they were unpatchable because they were destroyed on the core level and not just a loophole.
The same will happen to Denuvo in due time, it's all about patience.
For your info, the 3DM cracks were not even cracks, they were using loopholes that fooled Denuvo into thinking the game was legit and Denuvo itself is still running when you're using those "cracks". Not to mention how those cracks are completely bugged and for heavily outdated game versions. 3DM are garbage and so are all P2P groups. P2P exists to supply shit where scene doesn't care, not to crack shit. P2P groups by definition don't have necessary skills.
You're either a moron, a sensationalist, a false flagging consolefag or all of those.

Thank you for posting this. The article in the OP has been sweeping the net like wildfire, being shared by people who don't understand that it's all coming from a statement made by one person at 3DM, which isn't even a big cracking group to begin with.
>>323004960
I don't know much about the scene, but I do know that 3DM were the first and only (for a long time at least) guys to crack The Sims 4 successfully.
I think you're not giving them enough credit, even if the article is bullshit.
>>323004269
>kills modding
>increases spec requirements way beyond what they would be without it
yeah no
if every release had denuvo it would hurt PC gaming more than anything.
PC gamers aren't normies or casuals by definition, so most of us won't buy into that shit
>>323005576
They didn't crack Sims 4. They made a shitty launcher that impersonates Origin and makes the game think it's running on a legitimate Origin account. That's not a crack.
Stop using words if you don't know their definitions.
That's a half assed loophole.
Scene by definition don't make such things.
It's one of the rules of scene that you need to make a legitimate crack. A launcher that still leaves the DRM itself running is not a crack.
>>323005697
Whatever you want to call it, it worked and no one else found a way. If anything, I feel like such a loophole was pretty impressive of dem chinks.
I think this is the 3rd time I've seen this thread in the last 3 or 4 hours

>impressive
Literally everyone in the scene knew about it, they can't use it because that's not allowed by scene rules. Get it through your thick skull you fucking retard.
Scene doesn't exist to supply piracy to the masses. Scene exists to reach new milestones in the underground coding world. Mass piracy is just a side effect of that. It wasn't a crack, it was shitty launcher, for a heavily outdated verison of the game, that doesn't support DLCs and expansion or even patches, that still leaves Denuvo running and scanning your hard drive in real time, that still is buggy and has issues.
You are a fucking tech illiterate retard.
>>323005660
PC gaming is literally for casuals though
>>323005995
I don't give a shit about scene rules or underground coding milestones. Why would I? Why would anyone? I care about games being pirated, preferably as soon from their release as possible, and 3DM succeeded in that regard. Stop completely discrediting them just because they didn't abide by your rules. They allowed me to play Sims 4 for free and that's what matters.
>>323005995
Do you think you're cool with these edgy 'le hacker' memes
>>323005995
>a heavily outdated verison of the game, that doesn't support DLCs and expansion or even patches,
To be fair. TS4 is fully working and updated with newer DLC and expansions.
So is a lot of other Denuvo games, like DA:I.
Granted I do think 3DM is talking out their ass and it will be properly cracked down the line. Always bet on the pirates.
>>323006145
>I care about games being pirated
What's he point wasting all those ressources to hack a game if the devs can just aply a patch to make it unusable?
You do realise the inefficiency of such a method
>>323006145
They allowed you to play outdated buggy version of Sims 4 with even more bugs on top caused by their shitty half assed launcher.
If you enjoy garbage like that then enjoy you subhuman trash.

That was CPY with a proper crack, not a launcher.
They did the same to Lords of the Fallen.
Also Arkham Knight on release version but the re-release version has the new Denuvo which requires doing the whole work from scratch.
Have Just Cause 3 and MGS V been pirated yet?
I don't give a shit about Just Cause and I bought MGS V, but I'm curious if they got that far.
>>323004718
you're right, but making a crack for a game takes a long time, and as of now Just Cause 3's crack is taking a long time to release, eventually crackers are just going to say "fuck it and fuck this" and won't do it. why? because who the fuck wants to crack a shitty game for an entire month, hell its been 5 months since MGS V has released and there are STILL no cracks. 2 things will happen
1. crackers give up and pirating dies, only a few games won't or can't pay for denuvo
2. crackers will either want to get paid or want more money for cracking games
>>323006438
MGS5 has a shitty 3DM launcher for outdated version of the game that's also buggy and flat out crashes at the end of hospital mission (both prologue and mission 46). You also can't open doors unless you aim a gun at them. And there's some other issue I don't remember right now that's also pretty annoying.
>>323004960
Obviously this. Let's add to that that the old groups mostly retired.
Scene piracy was a different beast from the beginning, it's from there that the idea you should be able to try things before buying them was created, and those "pirates" certainly were among the biggest buyers. It only shifted once scene content leaked outside of the scene, and eventually made its way to P2P which most of the scene had always opposed because it was unsecure.
And well, the new groups, aswell as those continuing the old ones, certainly are bad. The effort to crack games really diminished, as the quality of games decreased, until nothing felt worth trying before buying. Moreover, Denuvo was made by former crackers, which really are assholes when you think about it.
Denuvo isn't that hard to crack, it only takes proper skill, which is lacking these days.
>>323005576
>he used the 3DM crack long after the game was properly cracked by a proper group

In two years there won't be games worth pirating.
>>323006312
>They allowed you to play outdated buggy version of Sims 4 with even more bugs on top caused by their shitty half assed launcher.
Yes. but it's not outdated now. At least not any more than most other pirated games.
>If you enjoy garbage like that then enjoy you subhuman trash.
Didn't say I enjoy it. Just said that you were wrong and spouting bullshit you are to retarded to even check up for yourself.
i'm sure the russians will crack everything just like always
>>323006726
It just means EA hasn't updated the Denuvo used in Sims so 3DM must have copied CPY's method from LotF and DAI.
>hating on 3DM
They are actually doing something while you are jerking off to anime pictures on vietnamese sticker collecting forums.
>>323005995
>Scene doesn't exist to supply piracy to the masses. Scene exists to reach new milestones in the underground coding world. Mass piracy is just a side effect of that.
Do you really believe that? There are far more important things to utilize such skills on than cracking videogame DRM - unless you really want to crack videogames to supply pirate copies.

>b-but m-muh scene!

>>323006216

That's because same Denuvo versions were shared between games. For example, once Denuvo 1.0 got cracked, games like BF:H and Lords of Fallen became playable. Once Denuvo 1.1 got cracked initial versions of games like MGSV and Mad Max became playable. But newer patches added denuvo 1.2, which still is uncrackable.
>>323007014
And those versions won't also be cracked down the line because?
People were saying the same exact thing about Lords of the Fallen. It just takes some time.
>>323006962

>>323007014
MGS5 and Mad Max were never cracked, they just have a launcher that imitates Steam and they're both horribly buggy.
MGS5 bugs see here >>323006518
Mad Max flat out crashes if you open the map (has about 50% chance to crash on opening map), you can't use the shotgun and it has random crashes on top of that.
Only Battlefield Hardline, Arkham Knight 1.0 and Lords of the Fallen were actually cracked, by CPY and not 3DM.

But coordinated freelance russians from cs.rin.ru usually release their shit under FTS (Faster Than Scene) P2P tag.
>>323007258
Oh and Dragon Age 3, also by CPY.
>>323007429
So where's CPY now? Just Cause 3? MGS V? Mad Max? Seems like they're starting to get behind :^)
>>323006518
>You also can't open doors unless you aim a gun at them.
This was in the V1 crack right? In V3 i never saw any of this. MGSV runs more or less properly.
I like 3dm because they basically shit out every new game on steam, even indieshits
They shat out darkest dungeon with each update every time
>>323007602
New Denuvo which they are most definitely working on cracking.
>starting to get behind
Hardline, LotF and DAI took months to crack as well.
And it's not the first time a new major DRM popped up and stalled games for months or even years. See Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and Tom Clancy's HAWX which took years to crack. I believ it was 2 years for HAWX and 7 months for CT. All because of StarForce and SecuROM.

>>323009842
Big boys already busted Denuvo 1.0 and 1.1, we're still waiting for them to bust Denuvo 1.2

>>323009984
No, chances are they simply released a new version which fixed those issues but I can link you cs.rin.ru threads to both that have plenty of hands on evidence from fuckton of people that prove 3DM's launcher had those very issues in both MGS5 and Mad Max. I don't know how it is right now but those issues did exist mere 2 months ago.
OP and the other people spamming this across the Internet are shills spreading propaganda that piracy is finished, even though it's not. See all those fucking memes in OP? That's corporate research, that's how the shills have been told kids post on The Internet these days.

There is actually nothing casual about that genre. It's not a good genre, it sucks dick, but it's not casual. 40 min match times for a game that requires a shitload of knowledge and experience to play competently? That is not casual in the slightest. Scrub leagues and containment zones are just placebos for people that companies know won't stick around but still hope they'll spend money
this is only the first step to ultimately lock down games and prevent modding all together, mark my words. the endgame is killing user made content and only good goy dlc will be allowed.

Not sorry I triggered you. MOBAs are dumbed down RTS games, anon. There is no debate here. You can argue matchup knowledge and experience all you want, but right now MOBAs are the most popular genre on the planet and everyone and I mean EVERYONE plays them in favor of just about everything else.
And it isn't because its "hardcore". It's because of the low skill ceiling, low entry barrier, the F2P model, and how snowballing works. People love that when the ball is rolling in a MOBA match, there is almost no hope for the losing team to make a comeback(though it does happen, often more frequently than some people think but its still insane that most MOBAs fuck over players if they're forced to backpack).
MOBAs are casual as fuck anon. I know people that only play MOBAs and as a result fail at just about everything else when they do take those rare breaks. One girl in particular is a Gold player in League, but thinks Dragon Age Inquisition and Shadows of Mordor are "the best games EVAR" in addition to League. Pay attention to the communities for League and DoTA2 and you will find that YES they are motherfucking casuals and YES they are completely unaware that MOBAs are dumbed down RTS games.
You people think you're playing something really hardcore when you aren't.

>They allowed me to play Sims 4 for free and that's what matters.
Not the guy you're talking with but you're moving the goalposts.
Your original claim was that they figured out how to crack Sims 4 before anyone else. They didn't figure out how to crack it, nor did they figure out how to make it playable before anyone else. I mean, it's great that you don't care and you just want to play it and all, but the point is that their opinion on piracy is irrelevant because they aren't particularly skilled in that area and your claim to the contrary was based on an entirely false assumption.
But instead of realizing your mistake, conceding that you were wrong and moving the fuck on, you're desperately trying to save face in an anonymous argument on the internet. I seriously cannot think of anything more petulant.
I remeber when AC2 took a long time to crack, a year maybe?

Thing is, only shitty companies like Ubisoft use Denuvo. And I neither pirate nor buy their games already, because they can't make good games.
So I don't see this affecting me.
3DM are typical chinese idiots. They did a shit job with the Mad Max and MGSV cracks, they are unstable as fuck and Mad Max doesn't even work on Windows 10.
Someone else will step up to the challenge and crack denuvo.
>>323011448
Ubisoft doesn't use Denuvo, they have Uplay.
EA, Konami, City Interactive and Warner Bros are the only companies to date to use Denuvo.

You're making me laugh and look down on you. You don't know what you're talking about at all. MOBAs are trash and YOU are trash for being a part of the cancer.
>I take it by your image that you are just an uneducated console fag though.
Hahahaha no. You're a fucking idiot for making that kind of assumption. I've been playing games for decades, no matter the platform because I'm not an idiotic platform warrior.
>That game is awful and the excuse for music in it is disgusting.
Shitty opinion from a shitty MOBA lover. It's like poetry.
Let me lay down the bottom line for you: If you swear up and down that MOBAs aren't casual, no matter who you are: your opinion is misinformed. Swarms totaling in the 100+ million range play your games. The top 1% don't come close to the top 1% of RTS players. You saying "m-muh gook clicking" shows how much of a fucking casual you are. And frankly, no one that knows better about this shitty genre is going to take your opinion seriously.
So, that being the case, why don't you go start up a 45 minute long match of ASSFAGGOTS? You are not convincing anyone that knows better that MOBAs are not casual, anon. I don't even know why you bothered to reply.

Hard to pick up the slack when they are working for the FBI or in federal prison. Besides with the increase dependency on technology, those savvy with technology no longer need to do WAREZ and shit to actually earn money.

>>323012198
Not necessarily true. It took the scene to pick up after Starforce simply because everyone got lazy.
Often geniuses are left unnoticed by the industry.
Circumventing Steam wasn't rocket science. Every script kiddie could do it.
The increase of anti-piracy shilling is worth taking note though.
>>323004269
That explains why it takes 4 fucking gb or ram all the fucking time jesus christ. There is literally no reason for this shit. No other game goes noticeably above 2gb for extended periods but this shit jumps to 4gb immediately with no leak problems.

Yeah. I totally believe you. They are working on cracking denuvo right?
>>323011316
Are you serious right now? I remember the game being playable pretty quickly. Only trouble was that it took a shitload of time to port to PC but that's on Ubisoft.
>>323004960
>3DM were never good to begin with
Holy shit you are dumb, 3DM have been the first to crack nearly every game in the last 2 years.
They were also the first to crack Denuvo.
Stay desperate piratefag, soon you wont be able to play any games.
To poor to buy them and no cracks to pirate them.

No they are currently building robots and drones right below me and it's getting kinda creepy. With all them sensors surveillance is kinda easy which freaks me out. They don't even need cameras.
They said they can do it with ultrasound sensors.
>Only team that has managed to crack a version of Denuvo is saying that they're giving up on it because it takes too long to crack each version
>Most people in this thread thinks someone else will crack Denuvo because old crappy drm was cracked in the past
Denuvo will never be cracked and in a couple of years all games will use it. PC piracy is dead.

3DM cracked Denuvo the scene hasn't

I get the impression 3DM are trying to use reverse psychology to get more people working on cracking Denuvo

Yes. Robots and drones. Stuff that benefits society and is worth value in sales. Not cracks that literally beggars use.

CPY isn't scene and their crack is based on 3DMs technique. It is also the older version of Denuvo that was cracked using exploits which have now been fixed with v4 of Denuvo.
>>323004269
So has there actually been a proper thread on this or has it just been constant anti-pirate baiting?
>>323014346
I have a PC, stay mad though m80.
>>323006962
He's right. The piracy is just a side-effect of "the scene". They only care about who has the most impressive feat, ie. cracking the most recent DRM technology, they don't care about cracking games.
>>323013964
According to yourself there could have never been crackers in the first place.
The span of people you know must be kind of depressing though. Materialistic ICT people are kind of rare in my social circle. I made that same assumption before getting to know many of them.
Some of them are really happy doing seemingly useless shit. It would sadden a meritocracy-monger like yourself.
And the only social use the robots currently have is drive around our kitchen.
>>323014269
I didn't say it was uncrackable. It's possible to crack all versions of Denuvo but it takes too long to do each one.
>>323014372
Mostly the latter. Some fags trying to argue the RTS vs moba debate though.

Technology was as developed in the past. Online banking, phishing, cyber warfare weren't a reality till the last 3 years. Tech genius literally can do anything they want these day. Thinking these people will be crackers for video games when they can be crackers for NSA is hilarious.

he really thinks that if you are capable of cracking a videogame that makes you the l33t3st in coding and encryption and therefor were obviously picked up by some government agency.
>>323015414
They have invested more over time yes.
But that doesn't deprive the market of top-tier ICT people.
Where the money is atm is where companies use ICT solutions to make processes easier. And believe it or not but the employment market in the private ICT sector is quite saturated atm. Especially as states now invest more in getting people into STEM fields.

And banks still put the same level of emphasis on security in 2004 as they do now?
>>323015669
>Only companies that cry that piracy hurts sales use Denuvo

Gee, I wonder if they'll learn the difference between a pirated copy and a missed sale.
Probably not.

>You don't have to be good to crack video games
Then why isn't Denuvo cracked?
>>323015523
>use uncrackable DRM
>games still sell like shit
>people will still blame pirates for this
You know what would increase sales?
Doing their fucking work and adding things that appeal to people who play in PC, like extra graphics settings or mod support.
Even if you use Denuvo, if you release broken pieces of shit like Arkham Knight or Just Cause 3, they'll sell like shit.
This DRM would have been effective 10 years ago, right now it's a pointless waste of money since pirates will either buy it anyway, or just forget about it
>>323013714
They are nobodies in those games lmao
>>323015692
The most ingenious game that ACTUALLY happened was that tech guys successfully convinced governments that data retention was a good idea.

>>323015789
Top tier ICT people don't fucking do warez crack. There is literally 0 profit or benefit in doing that. China does it because China has a huge p2p scene.
>>323015669
What does that have to with anything? TW3 and FO4 were the two biggest games of 2015, they sold more than any game last year.
Keep grasping those straws piratekek, the more you pirate the more games will start using Denuvo and other types of encryption.

>he thinks piracy = lost sale
Sorry senpai, my money goes towards actual developers.
Only talentless hacks who are unsure of the quality of their games use Denuvo, that's why there's not a single good Denuvo game.
>>323015946
nice reading comprehension retard.
hes trying to say that most games that uses Denuvo are shit and sells shit. so the argument that piratefags are the reason of a lost sale is a retarded one.
>>323015862
Circumventing Steam was easy. Now it's hard.
It's a demand problem. Denuvo exploits the laziness of 'pirates'.
>>323004269
i dont know why you keep making this thread OP, are you trying to appear retarded or raise awareness for someone to crack it? just be patient bro
>>323015946
Why would I pirate a Denuvo game like Arkham Knight if it's shit in the first place?
If you do your work, and release an actual port that you worked on, you'll get my sale.
If you are a hack and made a shitty job, you won't even get a pirate.
>>323016039
>he thinks piracy = lost sale

It just goes to show that pirates hardly affect sales.

>>323016117
There's no excuse.
You do a good job, you get sales, you fuck it up, you get shit.

>>323015935
No China does it because they overproduce academics atm. They have an overabundance of a certain kind of labor,
If there is no material benefit in piracy then hy did pirates do it in the past? Hardly because it was easier on slower computers,
>Money is the most important thing to me so it must be for everyone.
There is a psychological payoff in defying authorities.Especially the nsa issue has hightened the ICT scene's attention to encryption as well as making it more militant.
I don't care.
Most games nowadays are so fucking bad that I don't even bother pirating them.
Can't imagine we reached a point where I find most games not even worth pirating them.
>sudden out of nowhere daily "Based Denuvo" "PIRACY IS FINSHED" threads at the same time every day.
Not suspect at all.
>>323016148
>It just goes to show that pirates hardly affect sales.
It doesn't matter, every pirated copy is lost profit.
10 pirated copies is $600 lost 10,000 pirated copies is $600,000 loss in profits and 20,000 pirated copies is $1,200,000 loss in profits.
>>323004269
Yeah people said that shit about the PS3 too, and how it was unhackable and blah blah blah. There is no such thing as uncrackable anti-piracy software. All AP-software can do is delay people for so long that they give up and just buy the game. It'll never stop work for an extended period of time and it never has.
>>323016205

>>323016259
>implying you know shit

>>323016579
But they wouldn't, they would simply pirate another game.
>>323016579
Dude, most pirates pirate games that are $1.
If they can't pirate the game, they will forget about it.
Plus, no games are good enough that would make pirates want to buy them.
>>323016587
>>implying people that pirated the game would have bought it
Implying that the majority of people who would have pirated it and can't wouldn't go out and buy it.

>>323004269
Denuvo was created ex-scene crackers. It means that the top crackers from the scene left and the shittier ones can't fight them. Sure eventually they will be defeated but it will take time to get enough experience for the newfags.

Why do you unironically think this industry is worth keeping alive?

But they would and you are fucking retarded to think that if you couldn't pirate that people wouldn't buy it.
The only reason they don't buy is because they can easily pirate. If they didn't have the option of pirating they would buy it.
Not all of them would but the vast majority would.
>>323016579
lets just say that everyone who pirates games has enough spare money to afford the game they would otherwise pirate, how exactly would they HAVE TO buy the game?
>>323016740
>majority of people who would have pirated it and can't wouldn't go out and buy it
Guess what, they do not. Unless your game is a smash hit with a hundred million dollar marketing campaign and a christmas release DRM will kill sales, like in the case of Lords of the Fallen.
